there existed the best of feelings.
1t has been noticed however that for
the past TWO months Edwin has been
acting rather strangely but little or
nothing was thought of this. On
this day the family had just finished
dinner, bat We're yet seated ut the
table, Mr.. Jacobs arose and lit his
pipe and sat down again, sudden
ly he jumped up siezed bis gun,
aimed at his son Stephen and said,
"D-n you Steve YOU are trying to
beat me out of ray farm and III
shoot you" Seeing his danger the
young man sprang toward his father,
sliced the gun aud pressed the
muzzle downward; but it was dis
charged a portion of the charge
entering the leg and iuhicting a
severe wound. The sons wife now
rushed to the rescue and together
they got the gun away from the
raying father, not however before
the second barrel was discharged
which fortunately did no injury.
Father said stephen "\Vhy do you
act in this way? What is tbe troub
le?" The old man said nothing
for moment, and then ia dazed
sort of way said, "What have |
done?" His sou said, "You have shot
me-" "My God, what will become of
the twins?' said the now deeply
distressed father. The twins re.
fered to are his youngest children
aged about $ years The old man
then went TO the barn hitched mp

Your attention is directed to the
professional card of DR., w. II. Car
son, the new dentist. The Dodge
vile Chronicle has the following
handsome endorsement of the gen.
tleman:
'Dr. Carson has been practicing
dentistry in Dodgeville for about
two years, and during that time has
accumulated a large and lucrative
practice here; and were it not for
an accommodating desire to yield to
the earnest solicitations of the citi
zens Of Mineral Point, many Of
whom already have reasons for ap-
preciating his skill in his profession,
he would be pleased to remain in
Dodgeyille among his old friends
and patrons. While here, the Doc
tor has given universal satisfaction
in his profession, and won the es.
TEEN Of the people by his upright
ness and enterprise. We regret to
part with him both on account Of
his professional services and high
social qualities

From the Chronicle, February lth;
Rev Olympia Brown, the distin-

frage, was in town this week making
arrangements for holding o woman
suffrage convention, which will take

We do not know what the name Of

The members Of the q. A. II. Of

horses which belonged to his broth

the horses a. security while he came
to Dodgeyille. After he arrived in
Dodgeville he hired John O'NeilI To
take him to Mineral Point. Ia the
meantime the owner Of the horses
came 10 Barneyeld and reclaimed
them, and then Mr., Scheide got out
a warrant and sent to Dodgeyiile to
have the young man arrested for

ShuIIS6urg'S $ Great Mine.
FOUR THOUSAND POUNDS OF LEAD
TAKEN OUT EVERY HOUR.

The last issue of the L0cul,
paper published at the Berg, has
the following interesting article on
mining
The one absorbing topic of con
vcrsation in Shullsburg mining cir
ces Is the great lead recently struck
in the Shullsburg Mine This streak
of good luck, coming after such
long and apparently fruitless under
taking as the company were en-
gagged in, seems "A veritable godsend.
lhe tide OF fortune began to turn
last June, when the engine was
moved further south to It's present
location, aud work was commenced
IN new ground. From the time the
DRIFT was started south, fortune has
favored the miners. They followed
what was at first nothing but
narrow creVice, until, one Saturday
at the end of October, they broke
into fine looking opening and saw
that mineral was a certainty From
that day ON the brightness Of the
prospect has increased, aud what
seems big one day is thrown into
the shade by the revelations of the
next. As soon as the incline was
sunk and the stope taken up, work
was begun both east and west FROM
the main opening. Indications Mt
first seemed 70 point eastward for
the better prospects, but lately the
west drift has held tho attention Of
every body, and the Developments
IN this part of the ground are
watched with undiminished interest.
About two weeks ago soft ground
was struck, and this has within two
or three days broadened into an
opening OF unusual eXt3nt a ak.
teen foot pipe thrust into the cavity
could not touch the end, aud toe
breadth must average somewhere
from fifteen to twenty feet. The
roof is covered with cogs of I'M
usual size aud mineral lies every
where.
1t is in this crisis that the advant-
age and economy Of the incline shaft
are seen. Under the old method Of
hoisting, taking out seventy tubs, or
a dozen trans, was considered an
excellent days work. BY the pres.
ent system, however, there have been
hosted in one day fifty trans, or
three hundred tabs. Twenty hours
day are now used for this purpose,
and what is hoisted is large mineral
and wash dirt, with little refuse
/ dirt. Between three and four thou
sand pounds of mineral eau be taken
out in about an hour. Visitors are
quite frequent at the mine, and all
pronounce it q "beauty." The sheet
going east has suddenly widened,
and chunks arc blasted out weighing
anywhere from fifty 20 five hundred
pounds. 1t is a glorious outlook;
and as the price Of mineral is con
stantly rising, the mining business
could hardly be IN better shape.
